ACTOR TO MINISTER
Reginrfd Barlow, Son of Milt G.
Barlow, Prominent Minister
A SURPRISE TO HIS FRIENDS
Is His Opinion That Every Actor
After Becoming Fifty or Sixty
Years Old, Should Become a
Minister.
NEW YORK, June 6-After
pending thirty years as an actor,
Reginald Barlow, son of "Milt" G
Barlow, once a prominent minister,
las announced that he is to enter the
ministery. Giving as his ambition
the reconciliation of the church and
stage, Mr. Barlow announced that he
would assist in conducting the service
in the church of The Ascension.
Creen Point, to-morrow evening. The
news came a ; a surprise to his friends
"In my opinion every actor when he
becomes tifty or sixty years of age,
ii he still is in the profession, should
become a minister" said Mr. Barlow.
, "His natural vocation has been, ap
pealing to all sorts of men and wo
men, ana ne nas seen an Kincis. lr is
pcrfectfy natural also that when a
jnan has devoted the greater part of
his life to making people laugh, he
should want to get down to serious
things. There is bound to come a
time in the life of every man and
woman when he or she must think of
serious things."
Influenced by the Rev. Walter
Bendy, organiser of the Actors'
Church Alliance, Mr. Barlow is plan
ning to enter the general theological
Seminary in the fall as a resident
student although it is probable that
le will undertake "layman" preaching
under the Bishop Darlington. In the
first position he will start on a low
salary. Mr. Barlow is .39 years old
and made his debut when a boy of
nine years. While in Winnipeg in
1900 he joined The Royal Academy I
Regiment and served in the Boer war j
fr.r hte crvirpc til rpsrninj? his can-!
tain when wounded, he received a
medal from Queen Victoria.
WIRING SYSTEMS
Telephone, Telegraph, and Electric
light and Power Companies have for
some time been, busy engaged in the
construction of subways, or under
ground conduits, into which their
complex, unsightly, and more or less
dangerous systems of wires and
cables are being introduced. Legisla
tion in many of our larger cities has
compelled the Public Service Corpor
ations to inaugurate this improve
ment, and hasten its completion, and
it may be said that the days of the
pole line and overhead systems, in
our cities and the more progressive
towns, are numbered and the use of
underground conduits will become
general. In fact, it is only because
of the great initial cost that the com
panies do not, of their own volition,
enter upon this work more extensive
ly, the lower cost of maintenance,
greater security from damage and in
terrupted service, altogether being
much in favor of the underground
syStem, and many of the companies
for these reasons are adopting the
conduit system as rapidly as their
resources will admit and using ft
entirely for extensions and enlarge
ments. Cement Age.

IN BRISTOL BAY
FIRST LETTER FROM THE AS-TORIA-ALASKA
FLEET HAS
REACHED THIS CITY TO THE
GREAT COMFORT OF MANY
FAMILIES.
John Simonsoii, a well known
citizen
of Astoria, who lives at the
corner of Franklin avenue and Thirty-
eighth street, has just received a let
ter from his friend, Hilbert Hanson,
one of the crew of the American ship
St. Nicholas, hence to Bristol Bay,
Alaska, announcing the arrival of the
vessel there after a live-weeks' voy
age, unmarrcd by any losses, and
with all hands in the best of health.
The voyage was uneventful, save
that there was an extraordinary
amount of ice in the northern seas
this year and which operated to' de
ter the fleet somewhat. Mr. Hanson
had nothing to say of any other ves
of the Astoria fleet bound for Bristol
Bay, but they are all probably snug in
port long before this. The news will
be happily received in this city, in
more than one home, and the As
torian is glad to send out the cheer
ful word.

STUFFED TOMATO SALAD.
"A sctulTed tomato salad is one of
my new recipes, writes l-.innie .Mer

May Woman's Home Companion.
Peel six small tomatoes cut a -dice

cream cheese, add six chopped pimo-
one tablespoonful of finely chop

of dry mustard and enough French
Iressing to moisten. Fill the tomato
cases with the mixture, and serve on

if one will but follow directions. Mix
one teaspoonful of mustard, one tea-

cupfuls of olive oil have been used.
If the oil is added too rapidly the
dressing will have a curdled appear

restored by taking the yolk of an

CONCRETE BLOCKS.
The improvement in the design and
method of using blocks has been ac
companied by another gratifying dis
covery, ramely, that blocks will
tin.; Ih ,me waterproof if well made,'
and that the use of a relaible water
proofing compound will carry them
over to that period, says Cement Age.
Therefore there is no barrier to pre
vent the building of a durable and
artistic house of concrete blocks.
With the waterproofing problem sol
veil and a return to rational and common-sense
methods in the use of
blocks, the industry should continue
to expand, even in localities where
careless workmanship. "shoddy"
blocks and bad designs have created
a prejudice against a material really
excellent when properly made and
used.
WASHING EMBROIDERIES
Make a good later with soap and
warm water, adding one fourth of a
teaspoonful of powdered borax to
each quart of water. Place the artic
les in an ordinary glass fruit jar, then
nearly fill the jar with the lather.
Seal tightly, shake the jar a little, and
place it in bright sunlight for twenty
four hours. Of course, if the'weather
is cloudy, the time should be allowed
for. Turn the jar around occasion
ally, so that the sun may penetrate
every part. When the time is up,
pour off the lather, press the fabric
gently, then rinse several times in
clear, soft water. Return it to the I
jar with mofe clear water, set it again
in the sun, changing the water daily,
until the material is white. I recent
ly renovated a bit of fine old hand
embroidery, which had become as
yellow as saffron, by-this method, and
it was beautiful. Woman's Home

BILLIONS IN SWAMPS.
If it was both good stateillatlship
and good business to annex far-off,
frozen Alaska at a cash outlay of
seven million dollars, what is to be
said of a plan that will add to the
very heart of the national domain
lands that, measured in productive
capacity, equal the combined arable
areas of the fertile stales of Ohio,
Im,1':"i;' d Illinois for an investment
f nothing at all? If it paid to wait
many years for returns upon that in
vestment in the Northwest, how
much more profitable wilt it be to
receive an immediate income of more
than a billion a year from the home
enterprise? So writes C. F. Carter in
the Technical World Magazine for
June.
These conundrums have been pro
pounded to the Congress in the guise
of several bills providing comprehen
sive plans for the drainage of the
swamp lands of the country by the
national government at the ultimate
expense of the settlers thereon. Ac
cording to the estimates of the geo
logical survey there are 78,473,700
acres of swamps and overflowed lands
in the United States. Un-oflkially
some engineers express the opinion
that upon actual measurement the
swamps will be found to cover a hun
dred million acres.
With this introduction, Mr, Carter
writ-s a striking article in the re
claniaion work, in progress and pro
posed, which is one of the most im
port; nt features of work by the gov
eminent of this country today. The
story is intensely interesting and is
well illustrated.
HOW THE DIRT FLIES.

ami that all will be in readiness for
the first ship to make the little pleas
urc journey from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, so write Roy Crandall in the
Technical World Magazine for June.
Inasmuch as (he colonel is noted
for cotiscrvat's and caution, it is
believed that lie feels deep down in
bis own heart that at Kast a year will
be cut from that estimate.
It is quite probable that that opti
mistic statement will come as a ji
tinct shock to the rapidly decreasing
army of administration ill-wishers,
who hugged themselves a year or so
ago when trouble clouds hung low
over the canal horizon and joyously
proclaimed: "They won't get that
job done in a hundred years. They
'll let those contractors get in and
make a lot of graft; waste millions of
the public money; kill thousands of
men with yellow and Chagres fever
and then quite like the French eng
ineers did, It will be a flat hunting
ground for political favorites,"
With this introduction, the writer
tells what has happened in the dig
ging line a Panama, up to the early
months of the present year, and the
tale is a startling one for the aver
age reader. The article is well illu
trated, with new photographs.
